Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water optimization, covering their formation mechanisms, detection technologies, control strategies, and risk assessment. Its scope includes DBP formation pathways under different disinfection processes, rapid detection and quantification methods, cost-effective control technologies, and the balance between disinfection efficiency and DBP reduction. The purpose is to gather cutting-edge research, clarify optimization directions for drinking water disinfection, provide practical technical guidance, and promote the safety and sustainability of drinking water supply. Existing literature often focuses on single DBP types or control technologies, lacking systematic discussion on DBP optimization in the entire drinking water treatment chain. This Special Issue addresses this gap by integrating interdisciplinary research, linking DBP control with overall drinking water optimization, and supplementing studies on practical application feasibility, thus enriching the systematic understanding of DBP management and bridging the gap between theoretical research and engineering practice.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Toxics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
